Conceived, recorded and produced by Giulio Cesare Ricci
No editing. All the tracks on this record are heard as they were performed.

This album is part of the recordings Giulio Cesare made during the concerts of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio 2023 edition, which he himself organized. The chosen location is the Piaggio Auditorium inside the famous Museum of Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still produces today. The protagonists of FOUR STORIES are 4 great musicians with an extraordinary leader, Roberto Gatto, the greatest Italian jazz drummer, accompanied by Alessandro Presti on trumpet, Matteo Bortone on double bass, and Alessandro Lanzoni on piano. Roberto Gatto has played throughout Europe and the rest of the world with his groups and with international artists. The groups bearing his name are characterized, in addition to an interesting timbral research and impeccable performing technique, by a great warmth typical of Mediterranean culture. This certainly makes Roberto Gatto one of the most interesting drummers and composers in Europe and worldwide. Among the pieces played, many were composed by the artists themselves: The Music next door by R. Gatto, Il valzer della fonderia by A. Presti, Waver by A. Lanzoni, and Victoria Regia by M. Bortone. The album is completed by two very special pieces by Mary Lou Williams and Gary Peacock. For this recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci brought all his equipment, both analog (Ampex ATR 102 Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965, 2 tracks, ½”, 30ips modified by David Manley) and digital (Pyramix Recorder, dCS A/D and D/A converters). Regarding microphones, he used his original collection of Neumann U47, U48, M49, as well as the Signoricci microphone preamplifier and cables. Pairs of Neumann tube microphones from 1947 and 1949 (U47, U48, and M49) with a very natural timbre were used, employing bi-microphone field effect techniques. These microphones have an important history: they are, in fact, the original microphones used to record, among others, the Beatles' performances at Abbey Road Studio and by RCA for "Living Stereo" recordings. The sound that Giulio Cesare Ricci manages to capture with these legendary microphones is perfectly in line with his sonic taste. No other microphone has such a true timbre and the ability to record all the nuances of sound and all the richness of harmonics. The uniqueness of these microphones is linked to their ability to perform a perfect "sonic photograph" and to perfectly place the music in the sound space chosen for the recording. This is because for each recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci creates two Masters: an analog master for vinyl and a DSD digital master for SuperAudioCD, as in this case. For this SACD, he used the DSD format, on Pyramix using dCS A/D and D/A DSD converters. From 1998 to today, he has recorded in DSD 64 x 44.1 bit with Signoricci ex Philips workstations equipped with Pyramix programs, dCS 904 analog-to-digital converters, and dCS 954 digital-to-analog converters, all to best realize the fonè SACD. The SACD mastering was done using the entirely analog and tube Signoricci system. A "state-of-the-art" system without sound manipulation, equalization, reverberation, compression, and expansion... but natural sound and true timbre to best enhance the acoustics of the Piaggio Museum Auditorium. All this to create recordings characterized by technological sophistication and aimed at recovering the original musical atmospheres. For this recording, Ricci also used the "field effect" recording technique... all this to allow the listener, in their home hi-fi system, to relive the live effect as if they had been present at the performance.

Wonderful
Super comfy and easy on and off, yet stylish imo! I could walk miles in these as a 56 yo and have worn them for three years! I hope they never stop making them. The only tweek I would suggest is to cover the footbed with leather or suede not cloth so they would last longer!

Lovely sandals!
I highly recommend! These are so comfortable! Right out of the box, they can be worn all day. The velcro-adjustable straps are great for making for a perfect fit. The aren't clunky to wear, even though they appear to be. They're super cute, in my opinion. The sock liner is textile, so feet feel good all day, not slimy, like leather and suede can sometimes make feet feel if socks aren't worn.

Cute and Comfortable
Size: 10, Color: Black
This is my second pair. I bought the sand color at my local Macy's. I got their last pair. I have issues with back pain and ankle swelling and pain. These are so comfortable I had to get them in Black. The adjustable straps are great. My feet are a little bit wider because of the swelling issues. So if you have very narrow feet these might be a little big. You might want to go down a half a size. But otherwise I wear a size 10 and they fit perfectly. I don't think the picture does the color justice. The black almost looks like velvet, it's very deep and rich. I wore them out today for the first time and got lots of compliments. The footbed is very comfortable with the memory foam. Lots of support. I noticed my back and ankle pain is much better wearing these. I've never owned UGG before. If these hold up really well and continue to stay comfortable, I will be purchasing other styles for fall and winter.
